GIANT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Generously butter a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
• Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
• Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
• While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.
• Enjoy!

GIANT CINNAMON ROLL SNOWMAN

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 2 rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray.
• Remove the cinnamon rolls from the tubes and place on a large cutting board or a clean work surface; reserve the icing from the tubes for serving. Unravel 3 rolls and coil them around 1 intact roll to create a very large cinnamon roll. This will be the base of the snowman. Place on the bottom half of one of the prepared baking sheets, with a short side of the sheet facing you.
• Unravel 2 more cinnamon rolls and coil them around 1 intact roll. This will be the body. Place it on the baking sheet, adjoining the base of the snowman. Gently squeeze so they just adhere.
• Unravel 1 more cinnamon roll and coil it around 1 intact roll. This will be the head of the snowman. Place it on the baking sheet, adjoining the top of the body. Bake until golden brown, puffed up and cooked through, 24 to 28 minutes.
• Meanwhile, unravel the remaining cinnamon roll into a strip of dough. Cut crosswise into 5 equal pieces. Coil 3 of the pieces each to create 3 mini cinnamon rolls. These will be the buttons. Roll out each of the remaining 2 pieces to about 3 inches long. These will be the snowman arms. Transfer the buttons and snowman arms to the second prepared baking sheet.
• When the snowman finishes baking, let it cool slightly on the baking sheet on a wire rack. Bake the second baking sheet until the buttons are cooked through and puffed up, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Once the snowman is cool enough to touch, transfer to a large cutting board or platter. Using a butter knife of small offset spatula, evenly spread 1 container of frosting all over the snowman, frosting the crevices and even the sides of the rolls, if you like. This will act as the crumb coat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the second container of frosting and spread the remaining all over the snowman, creating large swirls. Decorate the base and body of the snowman with the cooled cinnamon roll buttons. Spread 2 tablespoons of the reserved frosting all over each snowman arm and adhere the arms to the snowman body.
• Use the black gel icing to pipe eyes and a smiling mouth. Use the green gel icing to pipe a scarf. Add the orange candy for the nose. Transfer the reserved icing to a small bowl and serve it on the side for dipping.

HUGE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Gently mix 1/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Let sit to proof until yeast is frothy and nearly doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it bubbles, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in margarine until melted.
• Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, salt, and yeast mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix well. Add 1/4 cup water, egg, and the warm milk-margarine mixture; mix until combined. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. You may not need all the flour; ideally the dough will remain a bit sticky but should be manageable with floured hands.
• Carefully knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Continue to flour your hands so the dough doesn't stick to them. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, margarine, raisins, pecans, and cinnamon for filling together in a small bowl. Sprinkle a thin amount of filling on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, then spray with cooking spray.
• Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle measuring 9x12 inches. Cut into 6 equal strips. Spread each strip with a thin, even layer of filling (too much may be too sweet) and roll up. Transfer to the baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool.
• Mix frosting, brown sugar, and cinnamon for icing together in a bowl. Pour in melted margarine slowly and mix to a smooth and thick consistency that is liquid enough to pour. Pour a spoonful of icing over warm rolls.
